The Potential of Dynamic Segmentation for Aquatic Ecosystem Management : Pacific Lamprey Decline in the Native Lands of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Oregon, USA)

Creator:: Palacios, Kelly C.
Abstract:: The Lamprey Eel Decline project conducted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) combined traditional ecological knowledge, scientific research and geographic information science. CTSI wanted to learn why the Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata), a culturally and ecologically important species, was declining in the streams within their native land area....

Biogeography of nonindigenous species: from description to prediction

Creator:: Reusser, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Nonindigenous species are a major threat to the ecological integrity and biodiversity of marine and estuarine ecosystems. To become a successful invader, species must pass through four phases: (1) survive transport, (2) survive release, (3) establish a population, and (4) expand their range. To better understand these processes, an integrated...

Spatio-Temporal Analysis and Modeling in the Marine Environment : Humpback Whale Genetic Variability and Seabird Distributions in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Dick, Dorothy Marie
Abstract:: The rapid decline of marine ecosystems worldwide and the failure of traditional single species management pushed for the development of ecosystem-based conservation measures such as marine protected areas (MPA) to slow the loss of marine biodiversity. One approach to MPA creation advocates targeting marine megafauna (e.g., marine mammals, seabirds, sharks,...

Arc Marine as a spatial data infrastructure : a marine data model case study in whale tracking by satellite telemetry

Creator:: Lord-Castillo, Brett K.
Abstract:: The Arc Marine data model is a generalized template to guide the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS) projects in the marine environment. Arc Marine developed out of a collaborative process involving research and industry shareholders in coastal and marine research. This template models and attempts to standardize common marine...

Developing "humane" interfaces to data clearinghouses for improving the delivery of spatial information to marine resource managers

Creator:: Walsh, Kuuipo
Abstract:: Web geographic information systems (GISs) and the Internet are now providing the connectivity necessary to support large-scale data access by a wide variety of users, including not just scientific researchers, but also policy-makers and marine resource managers. However, connectivity alone cannot ensure that those who need natural resource information will...

Integration of submersible transect data andhigh-resolution sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in several groundfish populations have occurred along the U.S. West Coast during the last decade (PFMC 1999, Sampson 1997, Ralston 1998, Bloeser 1999). One problem exacerbating these declines is insufficient stock assessments, especially for species of west coast rockfish (Family Scorpaenidae, Genus Sebastes) which comprise the core of...

Using remote sensing, in situ observations, and geographic information systems to map benthic habitats at Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Whitmire, Curt E.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in many species of demersal fishes off the West Coast have resulted in the designation of nine commercially important species as being overfished. While the causes of those declines are not clearly understood, the fact remains that a paucity of life history and abundance data exists for many...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

The implementation of two distributed databases of water-related information

Creator:: Ward, Brian S.
Abstract:: One of the most pressing concerns in the Geographic Information Science community is the distribution of spatial datasets over the Internet. Two projects of the Department of Geosciences at Oregon State University are in the process of distributing data. The Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse was implemented with the goal of...

Abstract:: Geographical data and information are virtually unlimited in their quantity and are oftentimes scattered throughout a multitude of locations and stored in various formats on a wide variety of platforms. The Oregon Coast Geospatial Clearinghouse (OCGC) is a web-based central repository for metadata (data about data) corresponding to collected data...
